Nice score on that new P30!
I have a P30 in 40SW, love it. The grip panels let you fit it to your hand and the finger grooves aren't annoying to me.

Thank you for comments. I plan a Graygun trigger job and that’s it. I had a VP9 but just a matter of preference. Eventually I will get the VP9 SK . I’m old school still like a few hammers in collection. MG2

Feels great in hand . I used the panels to do a Elmer Keith style grip . Large panel on the palm side and medium on the finger side .

That is basically the way mine is set up too. Feels just right.

Anyone interested in a Bul like mine but, in stainless, Grabagun has one in stock right now as well a Commander length. That was suprising....

I try to keep open minded and have had many handguns over the years . The P30 really needs very little to enhance , nice piece out of the box . It took me a long time to find this variation but it was worth it . MG2

I cannot express just how much I like this Bul Armory 1911. It is a dream to shoot. Went out real quick, 7 yards hind legs, 7 rounds 230gr fmj - such a smooth 1911. I love it

Just scored another Bul!
This time an SAS II Commander Street Comp .45 Auto
A 2011 style with 120mm mags. 14rds per magazine
I am truly excited to get this one. I thought it would be early next year before I would be able to get one.
Here is an image of one.

Actually had it yesterday. Took all of one day to get here from Knoxville, TN. (GPARMS)
Haven't had time do anything with it. Still soaked in factory oil. I'll get some better pics when I have her cleaned up.

Thanks Mack 😊
Ya know what though, the trigger on my 1911 Government is quite a bit better than this 2011 trigger
I honestly think that I somehow got a 1911 Trophy Model trigger on mine. Because she breaks consistently at 2.75 pounds bro.
Now, this 2011 trigger seems to be about 4 pounds. I haven't really taken the time to really sit down and see what comes up, but I did get to do a couple pulls and it seems like it was about 4 pounds with just a smidgen of creep. The 1911 trigger is just perfect though.
But, man oh man, for a 14 round 45 auto, this 2011 feels incredible in hand.
